Real world map of Fallout game area?

[Brutulf]

Has anyone got a real world map with the Fallout 1 & 2 locations marked (or can you point me in the direction of one) ?

 

[Pope Viper]

Ummmm.

Here's FO 1 -

FO 2

Is that what you're looking for?

 

[Brutulf]

I already have those. What I'm looking for is a real map of the region, just with the Fallout locations highlighted/painted on.

Oh yes, another thing too: What is the scale on the Fallout worldmaps (how far is it across one square) ? Any idea?

 

[Ekarderif]

I can create one for you. In fact, I'm working on one for my PnP RPG that I'm working on. Is it okay if I just include the California coast + parts to the east (Nevada and maybe Utah)?

 

[Brutulf]

Sure, that would be great., if you get all the Fallout locations on the map

That's not the picture I wanted. I wanted the one in black and white.

Brutluf wanted a "true world map", by which I suppose a contemporary physical map with locations marked, and i've been unable to find one through image search.

Also, I may doctor the topic title a little, it's misleading.

A few discrepencies arose when I was making this. I had to move West Tek a bit west so it would remain in the mountains. Fallout 2's Redding wasn't really close to the real city. Mariposa, Vault 13, NCR, and Vault 15 positions were quite different between the two games so I stuck with Fallout's version.

I always thought Junktown was so far south it was in Mexico. Oh well, just me being naive.

 

[Ekarderif]

Boneyards was described as over the remains of LA. Junktown is north of Boneyards...

 

[Silencer]

This way, LA Boneyard would be in Guatemala, LA standing for "Los Amates"

 

[uziel]

I'm afraid you've lost me there. Let me think...It took me a very long time to go from Shady Sands to Junktown. Ekardief's map isn't accurate. I remember, when I played with a female character, that I walked through this huge crater-like formation. That isn't in his map.

I see now how you got that avatar and title.

The map used is a real world map, with the locations lined up with the ones in the game and imposed onto the map. There are a few discrepancies between our california and Fallouts. One of those is that our (real world) california hasn't been bombed into oblivion. Fallout's california has. Craters tend to happen where bombs fall, as I recall...

Uh no, look at a real map and see the differences. Fallout actually has cities in the wrong place. Some of them are way off.

Here is one I made a while ago for FTR:

So yeah, some city locations are WAY off and the FO 1 and 2 maps don't exactly line up.

All the "moved" cities seem to be moved in to the mountains - maybe, since the life in the wasteland became much more dangerous after the bombs fell, the few survivors decided to move the city to the mountains, where it couldn't be attacked as easy as in the desert?

 

[Brutulf]

There seems to be a lot of confusion and different map versions here, so what about a map with both the real world locations and their Fallout counterparts?

 

[calculon000]

Ok, my map has a real map of Nevada/California with a FO1 and 2 map superimposed on it. The red dots are where the cities are on the real map. I used the coastline of the Fallout maps to determine their location on the real map.

I think it has more to do with the people who made fallout being bad cartographers.

 

[Brutulf]

Neat. So what distance is one worldmap square?

 

[Ekarderif]

Well, Fallout had decent cartographers. Fallout 2 they hired some really retarded people.
